i'm going to have a '69 gtv dash rebuilt, and have three options
i know of so far:
- reoriginals
- just dashes
- ok parts

> has anyone had experience with these outfits? any way of comparing
them other than price?

much thanks,

john

I had "Just Dashes" do my 67 GTV (the fake wood style). They took a long time, but did a very good job and much less than a new one.

great feedback.
chris, i think i saw a pic of the crack on your dash
not too long ago. it made me wonder about the
quality of just dashes. i'm going to check with reoriginals
to see if they send their dashes to them. the german
outfit would probably cost a lot in shipping.

Just Dashes has done a lot of work for us in the past. We've had nothing but good results.

Re-Originals carries new dashes, as far as I know. If they offer refurbished ones, they are more than likely done in Europe.

Chris, I'm curious as to how quickly your dash went bad. Does -Just Dashes- not stand behind their work with some kind of warranty? I would be furious if I spent hundreds for a restoration and then the thing developed a crack. Can you provide further details? Thanks.

I went to the Just Dashes website and noticed they mention their restorations will last for decades without cracking but they only guarantee their work for one year. I e-mailed them a question concerning this hoping they will clear this up. The funny thing is that when I went to their product gallery they showed an Alfa Romeo dash. That was interesting!

Greetings!

All the good comments about "Just Dashes" are quite justified.
They are not cheap, they take time, but their work is excellent.

Their avg. work time for the dashes they do not usually do (since they usually do
MOPAR and GM) is around 1.5 months.
